"Open Wi-Fi Connection on one endpoint" - network name is "hidden for privacy"?
Background: We have Defender for Endpoint, and Intune installed on our corporate Android devices.
I'm not sure what changed recently but we are now getting tons of alerts everyday for Open Wi-Fi Connection on one endpoint. When I go in to investigate further every alert says:
Device ID : <<unique ID>> connected to an open Wi-Fi network : hidden for privacy
Is there any way to see what the actual network connected to is, to determine if this is a risk or if it is just needs user education?

Hello, I'm receiving this error message in Defender for an iPhone endpoint. Not sure how to address this issue on the endpoint. The Microsoft Defender portal offers no direction for containment or remediation. Can anyone offer a suggestion for how to address this issue?

marknabors If the device is something your company owns, you could contact the person to investigate further. It would be a good Idea to help them protect themselves.
I am looking at the same thing myself. It would be nice to have Intune flag the device as non-compliant, then you could block non-compliant devices using EntraID conditional access policies to not allow logins from non-compliant devices.
Have not figured that part out yet. If anyone else has a method to block devices using open wifi that would be helpful.
